A global webinar gathered experts to share the latest research on developing banana cultivars resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Building on prior discussions, the event consolidated knowledge and highlighted recent progress in breeding, field trials, and advanced genetic tools. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto.

The webinar updated ongoing research, identified challenges for durable resistance, and emphasized genetic diversity's role in resilient production. It also underscored biotechnology's potential and the importance of multi-location trials. The event fostered knowledge exchange and strengthened global collaboration for effective TR4-tolerant cultivar deployment worldwide.

Secure land tenure and responsible governance are crucial for guaranteeing land rights, ensuring productive and sustainable land use, and empowering communities. This fosters investment, improves agricultural productivity, enables access to financial services, and ultimately helps reduce poverty while promoting peace and stability.

A recent episode of The Circular Economy Show explores how circular economy solutions can combat accelerating biodiversity loss. Lou, Marianne Kettunen (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Bianca Brasil (Convention on Biological Diversity) discuss critical connections.

They examine how resource extraction drives 90% of biodiversity loss, the role of circular business models in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework, and actions required before COP17. The discussion also covers business engagement and integrating circular economy with biodiversity strategies.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a charity accelerating the circular economy to tackle global challenges like biodiversity loss, invites you to subscribe for insights and learn more about their work.

Rural women in Europe and Central Asia comprise nearly 40% of the agricultural workforce, yet their vital contributions often remain invisible and undervalued. This video highlights their critical

Rural women in Europe and Central Asia comprise nearly 40% of the agricultural workforce, yet their vital contributions often remain invisible and undervalued. This video highlights their critical role in agriculture and rural development, advocating for equal access to resources, knowledge, and opportunities. Supporting women farmers is crucial for building more inclusive, resilient, and efficient agrifood systems.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) partners with women farmers across the region to strengthen skills, improve resource access, and foster resilient livelihoods and communities.

Antimicrobials are crucial for treating sick animals and protecting our food supply, but their overuse in human medicine and agriculture fuels Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). This threatens critical antibiotics and leaves farmers struggling to access proper guidance and treatments for animal health.

The FAO, WHO, and WOAH are collaborating through a 'One Health' approach. They develop guidelines for responsible antimicrobial use, strengthen surveillance, and enhance public awareness. Learn more about FAO's work on AMR and help combat pathogens by sharing this vital information.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a critical threat, driven by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in human medicine and agriculture. This jeopardizes our food supply and leads to the failure of vital treatments, leaving farmers struggling to manage animal health effectively.

To combat this, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) collaborate through a 'One Health' approach. They develop guidelines for responsible antimicrobial use, strengthen surveillance, foster public-private partnerships, and enhance public awareness of AMR, particularly in Indonesia.

Antimicrobials are crucial for treating sick animals and safeguarding our food supply. However, their overuse and misuse in both human medicine and agriculture drive Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), leading to the failure of vital antibiotics. Farmers often struggle to access proper guidance and treatments for animal health.

To combat this, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) collaborate through a 'One Health' approach. They develop responsible antimicrobial use guidelines, strengthen surveillance, and enhance public awareness of AMR, particularly in the Philippines.

Antimicrobials are crucial for treating sick animals and safeguarding our food supply. However, their overuse and misuse in both human medicine and agriculture are accelerating Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), leading to the failure of vital antibiotics. Farmers, from small to large scale, often struggle to access proper guidance and treatments for animal health.

To combat this, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) collaborate through a 'One Health' approach. They develop guidelines for responsible antimicrobial use, strengthen surveillance systems, and enhance public awareness of AMR, particularly in Thailand.
